can't mount second hard drive

[davham]

I just installed 10.4.3, and when I boot up I get an error message saying "Disk you inserted was not readable by this computer". In Disk Utility the disk shows up, but unmounted.

When I click on mount, it says it can't and to try and repair it. When I click on first aid nothing happens.

In the terminal the command mount /Volumes/disk0s1 (the disk name in utility) it says can't mount "unknown volume or file type", it's formatted as ntfs.

 

the setup is

 

channel 0 master windows xp

channel 0 slave mac os x

channel 1 master dvd

channel 1 slave disk0s1

 

any thoughts?

Thanks

I got it working here for some of my HDDs that wouldn't automount.

 

If you go into Terminal and type

diskutil list

and it doesn't list the unmounted HDD as NTFS, the above thread can be your starting point.

 

You might also make sure that your HDD has been named inside of Windows XP, and its name doesn't match another HDD's name.

When I do a "diskutil list" the disk shows up as disk0

 

/dev/disk0

#: type name size identifier

0: FDisk_partition_scheme *111.8 GB disk0

1: 7.8 GB disk0s1

/dev/disk1

#: type name size identifier

0: FDisk_partition_scheme *37.3 GB disk1

1: Windows_NTFS Untitled 37.3 GB disk1s1

/dev/disk2

#: type name size identifier

0: FDisk_partition_scheme *37.3 GB disk2

1: Apple_HFS Mac Os 37.3 GB disk2s1

 

 

running mount returns "incorrect super block" also the disk size is showing up as only 7.8G

 

Thanks
